Thanks Steve. I hope to address your recent questions in other posts but need more time to research and provide you the material. Here we are just speaking plainly. I would agree with you, and think sex work could be legalized with proper restrictions or requirements.
But also to say, there are some things that may never be fulfilled... And we ask why that might be?
For example, you can pay for sex but will it fulfill the emotional longing and feeling like you are sharing with an equal interest?
I have not risen above physical temptation and oftentimes feel mad for obsessing over particular ideas. I do seek to liberate myself from these obsessions and hope to enjoy earthly pleasures. Is it possible?
And... HIK on friendship,
2) Relationship is nourished by contact, kingship is maintained by reciprocity, but friendship is developed with love. There is no relationship that can be compared with friendship, for it is in learning the law of friendship that one understands ethics and morals, and also the relation between man and God.

Not sure how you digressed to the topic of ‘sex-work’. Can you quote where it was brought up before? I made no comment about it. We were talking about sex as an expression in relationships.
This was my last entry….
I appreciate your reflections and observations. I think most of us have some form of physical expression of emotion. It is very difficult and perhaps dangerous to deny our physical dimension of expression unless we have truly risen above all physical desires and experience divine bliss on a regular basis.
And this is the topic;
It has come to me lately that nature favors more of the reptilian nature in us. Whereas when we have human consciousness we also have a spiritual awareness. Having animal bodies equipped with a spiritual consciousness that is beginning to awaken in us all makes life difficult as human beings. I know that I’ve been told that we can embrace our animal nature, yet if we become too absorbed in that embrace we also loose our spiritual aspirations and experiences.
As you see there is nothing to agree about because I have made no comments about sex-work. It is not the topic we are discussing.
Thanks Steve. Here we are just speaking plainly. I would agree with you, and think sex work could be legalized with proper restrictions or requirements.
?? I have no opinion to offer you. It is a different topic. Not part of my original intention for discussing.
